What's the value of Likes you've obtained by manipulation...?
Seemingly a manipulative nature that is showing in answers to others too.
A lot of bad vibe is coming out very quickly I noticed more than once..., but you suggest
others have issues??
It all kinda
suggests you feel like the patch maker Top Dog here or something...
I think you should give from the heart, ask donations/money or don't give at all.
(see smilefan, Don Petersen, ... Though both also left :mrgreen )
Esp. since
the download by itself is considered to be a compliment!
Personally I grab a preset just once in a while from the better sources, mostly to forget even auditioning it (and certainly too lazy to put on the Axe to listen right away), or thinking "it will be useless in the next firmware anyway."
Some just like to gather and keep stuff stashed away, sometimes to be thanked later when the author lost his patches (I believe Don Petersen had that happen a few times).
By reading here for many many years, it seems a lot of people are like me and are even too lazy, forgetting or out of time to audition patches others made
esp. for them
So if you think 800 out of 1000 people are secretly building their rig with your patches, I think you might be quite wrong...
Again, the number of downloads is the compliment.
Be happy with that number alone
and hope to learn from the comments you can get.
And show a PayPal if you want more. Good patch makers always deserve it, IMO.
